Excess Molar Volumes for Benzyl Alcohol (C6H5CH2OH) with Methyl Ethyl Ketone (CH3CH2COCH3) at Different Temperatures

Abstract

Measurements of excess volume (V^E) have been undertaken for the mixtures of Benzyl Alcohol (C₆H₅CH₂OH) with Methyl Ethyl Ketone (CH₃CH₂COCH₃) at the temperature 298.15, 308.15 and 318.15 K and under atmospheric pressure in the liquid state by using dilatometer. The data obtained have been fitted by means of Redlich – Kister euation. The results show negative values of V^E at all temperatures and the values of negativity of V^E increases with rise in temperature. The results were discussed from the viewpoint of specific interaction between these components.
